If you’re an American citizen you should never willingly compromise yourself to a foreign entity, let alone an adversary.
While my own Government and its Corporations do spy on me, I know that I’m not in danger of losing my life or livelihood because I’m not a threat to either of them, and there’s basic rule of law to protect me.
With the CCP, if I as an American have any value to them that can be used to destabilize my own Country or to increase China’s hegemony they could use me to their own purposes and I and my country could very much be in danger.
I hope any kid or teen who uses Tiktok doesn’t desire power or politics one day, because there’s a significant chance those very personal things you recorded could potentially be used against you to the benefit of the CCP in the future.
Sure, that all kinda makes sense if only care about USA. Snowden presented proof that Meta and Google were being used to spy governments in South America(if don’t believe me, just Google it) . What are your thoughts about that?
Google and Meta might not be dangerous for USA, sure. But you know there are other countries in the world, right? Remember when Snowden presented proof that big tech companies were being used to spy federal governments in South America? Maybe you don’t care about that, but people who live outside of USA sure do.
You guys know that Google and Meta do the same shit, right? OK, good. Just checking.
The CCP is and has always been worse. This hasn’t ever been a feasible debate, just whataboutism.
How is it worse? Real question. I’m not American, by the way.

Yes both should be regulated.
That said, Google and Meta don’t have any desire to geopolitically cripple the US so there is a difference between the two depending on your region.

They sell trucks? Never knew that.
That’s over an encrypted line :D
Cmon dude, the line is literally the joke.
Can’t haul stuff in Google or Meta.
Can’t argue about that
